The theme of this children's program from the "Ten Minute Praise" series is the Easter story and features Scripture readings taken from the accounts of Jesus' resurrection as recorded in Matthew and Mark. In addition to the Bible readings, four songs are included and interspersed throughout the narrative to highlight the main scenes in the Easter story. This book includes everything needed for one complete performance: director's score and program outline, both reproducible for teachers, parents, and children. Previews of the individual songs and audio samples are available on the Sheet Music Plus website. Song titles in this program: * Jesus Is Risen * Rejoice, Jesus Lives! * I Believe Jesus Died for Me * He Is Lord Medley Free MP3 accompaniment tracks are available upon request (see contact information inside book). Sheet music previews and audio samples for the individual songs are available on the Sheet Music Plus website: http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/publishers/sharon-wilson-sheet-music/3001477 These "Ten Minute Praise" programs give children the opportunity to share their voices through reading (or reciting) and singing when time and resources don't allow for longer, choreographed children's musical programs.
